The Moon and Her Sun

Six: Reenact a Scene

Today is finally the last day for reading Romeo and Juliet. That shit was annoying. Especially reading it.

Well one thing good came out of reading meeting Ciro.

Mr. Reynolds finish reading the final words of the play Romeo and Juliet. He then closes his book along with the rest of the class.

He takes a deep breath and says "Okay class. Pick a partner."

I automatically look a Carla and grab her arm. As if she wasn't going to pick me. I smile at her.

I look back to see that Justine partnered up with Ciro. Poor kid being abused evil herself.

I look at him and smile. I mouth "I'm sorry" to him. Then when he smiles back at me. Justine takes notice and puts her index finger below his chin. Then pushed her finger towards her face.

Trying to make eye contact with him. Poor kid.

"Aww shit what if it's a project?" She says.

"I hope it's not. Don't fucking jinx it hoe." I respond. She's probably right. I hope not.

Mr. Reynolds stares all of us down. Looking at each and every one of us with our partners. "Now the person you are with right now isn't the partner you'll be working with." He says "Now switch again."

I get from my desk saying to Carla "I'll miss you hoe."

She smiles reaching her hand out "I miss you already."

I walk to where Ciro desks is at and I pass by Justine. She looks at me with a dead look. "Sucks to suck doesn't it Justine." I say to her smiling when I finish my sentence.

She doesn't say anything but grunts. As I reach Ciro's desk I take the seat right in front of him. Thank God it's empty am I right?

Ciro smiles at me and says "Well well well look who came crawling back."

I scoff "What you mean? I never left you in ther first place."

"Mhmm sure." He says.

Mr. Reynolds tries to quiet down the class and when he does he then speaks. "Well class these are for sure going to be your partners for your projects." Damn it Carla was right.

I look at Carla and mouth "screw you".  All she does is shrug her shoulders. Like she's saying what are you going to do about it.

After all the surprised faces and depressing sighs Mr. Reynolds continues "Now for your only project of this semester and is only 50% of your final grade, you will be reciting any one of the scenes from Romeo and Juliet.

"Choose wisely folks. This may make or break your English grade. So make it worth remembering." Mr. Reynolds then makes his way back to his desk and let's us do our projects.

"Okay so which scene do you want to do?" I ask Ciro.

"Why not the one at the party where Romeo meets Juliet?" He mentioned.

"Is that just another reason for you to kiss me?" I ask him.

I see his face turning red. He must really like me.

He hasn't answered my question so I break the silence. "Okay then since your new I guess we can do the scene."

"Great." He says trying to recover. "So how about that second date?"

I'm not sure what to think of. The fact that I was caught off guard of him. Or that he asked me during school hours.

"That depends." I say.

"Depends on what?"

"If you take me out somewhere fun."

"Deal." He says.

"Then you have a date with me." I say.

After that I get called to the office to get picked up for another doctors appointment. Now I can finally talk to my mom about something about school.
